Royal Assent: International Aid Transparency (13 Nov 2008)

“The problem that Government Members have with the hon. Gentleman's point about removing party politics from the international development debate is that during the Conservative party's term in office, the money that was spent on aid halved as a proportion of GDP, and, if it had not been for the political and non-governmental organisations' pressure on his party, it would have gone down even...”

Royal Assent: International Aid Transparency (13 Nov 2008)

“Would the hon. Gentleman not be better advised to ensure that his sharp-eyed researchers are put to work on his party's international development policy? I do not know whether he is embarrassed by the comments of the Overseas Development Institute's Alan Hudson, who described the hon. Gentleman's proposals on the ODI blog as "derivative" and just a rehash of the Government's.”

Royal Assent: International Aid Transparency (13 Nov 2008) has video

“Will my right hon. Friend confirm that 90 per cent. of DFID's aid is targeted on low-income countries? I have read the article in The Daily Telegraph and I wonder whether he shares my concern that some of the information in it—and some of the questions from Conservative Members—may be leading to a change in Tory policy that would mean a cut in the Department's budget?”
